Let this play if you’d like company while reading.
Pain can feel like it defines you, but it does not.
Not Broken, Just Bleeding is a space to hold your hurt without judgment,
to recognize courage in vulnerability, and to honor the heart that keeps going.
Main Text
You may be hurting.
You may feel raw, exposed, vulnerable.
That doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you are alive.
It means you are moving through something hard.
It means the heart inside you is still beating, still holding on, still trying.
Bleeding is not failure.
It is evidence of love, of depth, of courage.
Try this:
– Name one thing you feel right now
– Place your hand over the area that aches — chest, stomach, head
– Speak gently to yourself: I am not broken. I am bleeding. I am learning to heal.
– Rest if you need to — even for a few breaths
You are whole, even in your bleed.
You are enough, even in your hurt.
(from amiKit, with care — suffering does not define you; your courage does.)
Soft Exhale
Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Imagine the pain as a color slowly shifting to soft light.
Let yourself simply be here, acknowledging every drop without shame.
Your heart is strong — you are seen, you are held.
